Bought the Dyson DC25 Animal to replace a Kenmore- that I HATED! It was heavy and always needed bags and was clumsy.
My family members have Dyson's and convinced me to spend the money.
As soon as I got the Dyson, I quickly and easily assembled it in literally 3 clicks. I got to vacuuming my carpet and was amazed at how easy it turned- LOVE THE BALL- and how much dirt it picked up. I LOVE THIS VACUUM!
I have 2 dogs that shed and this vacuum picked up the dog hair- off the furniture and carpet, the extended reach hose is so easy to use. The stair attachment was so easy and had good suction.
I will never buy another vacuum unless it is to upgrade to another Dyson.
If you are not sure and think you might like a Dyson- DON'T wait- buy it now and never look back. You will be completely happy.
